“Any news from them?” William asked Ellie, his head between his hands, his elbows on the desk in front of him. He had his eyes closed and his head down. "No my love. None." She said and sat down next to him. He pulled her onto his lap and rested his head on her shoulder. "This is a nightmare." He said. “At least the company is managing to maintain itself. I know Brandon isn't dead. And Chung-hee is with him. It's going to be okay, Will." William Ashford took a deep breath. “I wish my boy was here and not running from the police. And the worst, for something he didn't do!" "I know…" The office phone rang and Ellie answered it. Her face turned serious and she hung up the phone sharply. "What was this?" William asked. Then he squinted his eyes. "Don't tell me that Rindley Fairfax keeps calling!" “It will stop at some point.” Ellie spoke, calmly. “Ellie…are you sure you want to be with me?” She turned to him and smiled. "Absolutely. I love being here with you. And even if the
Brandon took a look at the camera, but everything was steady. “Are you sure? It could’ve been just an animal.” “No.. I’m sure. That was definitely a piece of cloth.” Gideon said and Lucy, who was at the door, peeked inside. “Baby, don’t worry. We’ll fix this.” Lucy just nodded. She knew they would do something, but she was afraid something bad would come their way. she had a terrible feeling about that. “I’ll go outside. Ok?” Gideon said and Lucy’s eyes widened. ‘It’s fine. Stick to Brandon here.” “But… what if you get hurt? I don’t..” Gideon walked to her and cupped her face, kissing her lips passionately. “Brandon will take care of you. I’m not afraid now, Lucy. There is no trouble about me dying, if that happens. You are not unprotected.” “i don't want you to die!” She said, her eyes glistening with tears. Gideon just smiled at her. Knowing that she cared about him was more than he could have expected. Then, he turned to Brandon. “Take care of her.” Brandon nodded
He turned around and saw Lucy, but his attention was not on the cameras anymore, or at the door, which swung open. Gideon tried to turn around, but the sharp pain on his side hit him anyway. “You’ll die for that!” He said, and Lucy saw when Gideonheld the man’s head and smashed it against the wall. Another man tried to enter and then just avoided a punch, used his own arm as a shield to stop the other man’s movement, turned the man and broke his neck. Everything went too fast and Lucy was dumbfounded. She had never got to see Gideon in action and now that she saw it, it was looking at a killing machine. But that didn't bother her as much as the red stain on his side. He was hurt. He was gurt. That kept popping in her mind, but her body wouldn’t move. She should run. She should tend to him. She should..“Lucy!” Brandon appeared and took her by the waist, back to the safety of the room. That was when she realized Gideon was all alone with the enemies. Enemies that kept appearing. “
“What are we going to do?” Brandon asked, his hands entangled in his own hair, while his elbows were resting on his knees. “We’re gonna find her.” Chung-hee said. Brandon raised his eyes at his master. “Not meant to be disrespectful, but.. how on earth? Somebody took her! Right under our watch!” “We can’t stay with our eyes on her and on the enemies! I’m sorry! And..” Chung-hee said, nervous. “And Gideon was hurt. I know!” Brandon said. He couldn’t blame his twin, since he got hurt because of Lucy. Gideon remained silent. He couldn’t bear the idea of Lucy in Krasner’s hand. He knew the crazy doctor had her. Who else?“We can’t leave Gideon like that, here.” Brandon murmured. “Go.” “What?” Brando asked. “Go. She is more important.” “Gideon..” Chung-hee started to say, but the young man shook his head. “No. She is everything. I can handle myself. She can’t. So, go to her. Save her. And kill that motherfucker.” Gideon said, his rage making tears get to his eyes. “If he touches
Lucy had been feeling less terrible, those last days. Her body was not so swollen, or painful. Not so many trouble breathing. “How is my favorite experiment doing?” Krasner asked, smiling while entering the room. Lucy was not in a bed, all tied up. She was in an almost empty bedroom. The bed, a sink, a small box as the bathroom and restroom. That was it. Everything white and she was ‘free’ to walk around all the seven square meters.She looked up at Krasner while sitting on the bed and he approached her, without an ounce of fear that she would just attack him. It happened a few times. “I’m better.” She said and he caressed her face. “I’m very much happy to hear that, love.” He said. “Now… I have a gift for you.” “A gift?” She asked and he nodded, taking a small box from inside his pocket. “Open it.” she did as she was told and inside the box, was a little square, wrapped in a laminated paper. “Come on. Open it.” He seemed eager to see her reaction and she felt her heart racing,
“We need to fix this issue with the police.” Chung-hee said.“But we need Lucy to do so.” Brandon replied, his fingers inside his hair. He was losing his mind. “It has been three months, Chung-hee. Three fucking months!” Gideon entered the room, putting his boxer gloves aside. He had been training and when he turned around, it was possible to see the tattoo. “I can do something to help. I mean, they are looking for Brandon. We have the same tattoo. The same face. Same DNA.” Brandon turned his head to look at his brother. “What are you trying to say, Gideon?” He asked, raising his hands. “Wanna go to jail in my place?” “If it comes to it, yes.” He started to take off his shorts and both Brandon and Chung-hee turned their heads. “Oh, come one! Especially you, Brandon. You have seen it quite closely.”“Ok, I don’t want to know about it.” Chung-hee said. “Don’t worry. I won’t say what Brandon did.” Gideon winked and Brandon rolled his eyes.“I didn’t do anything, you idiot. You are
Lucy was walking to the ‘battlefield’ with one thing in mind: kill. She had been trained well and she was not going to ruin everything. She was left to die by those men and now, they were there to kill her. No.. not only her. Since Krasner helped her, they were going to kill him, too! The invaders were good, but she was better. Lucy didn’t have memory of that, but the drug Krasner inserted on her made her body capable of fighting much better. The muscles were better, everything was better and, with the training he exposed her to, her body was not perfect and, to Krasner’s amusement, she didn’t get all manly. While she killed one after the other, her face never changed. She knew she had to take revenge, but deep inside, she was not capable of feeling a thing. And that was one of the effects of the drug: apathy. “Someone is killing our team!” Chung-hee warned the others. Lucy knew the facility too well, and she was capable of moving silently. Her first target between the three lea
Lucy observed as the men argued. She was not going to let them pretend that they cared for her and low her defenses.She observed how Gideon and Brandon were distracted and she wanted nothing more than to hurt them and be free, but something inside her was telling her they were not how Krasner told her. ‘Damn it!’, she thought, ‘I can’t remember a thing. Why?’If she could remember what happened to her… Gideon turned his head to her and cupped her face, leaning down and kissing her. The warm touch of his lips made her heart beat faster and her head started to ache, provoking her to scream. “What the hell?” Brandon looked at Gideon, who was dumbfounded. “I just.. kissed her.” “Ok, love fools, we got to leave this hellhole!” One of the members told them. “More are coming and they will kill us!” “Get her and let’s move!” Chung-hee said and Gideon pulled her over his shoulder. Lucy had lost consciousness. More guards of Krasner came and to fight them was difficult for Gideon, havi
